Cherubism: A rare case report.

ABSTRACT: Cherubism is a rare congenital disease resulting in malformation of the jaw. It occurs before the age of 5 years and regress spontaneously after puberty. It can result into enlargement of the jaw bone, tooth displacement, facial disfigurement and psychological trauma to patient. Hence, the understanding about the condition, its progression and management is necessary.

Cherubism: a case report.

Project description:Cherubism, a pediatric disease, is a self limiting non-neoplastic autosomal dominant fibro-osseous disorder of jaws. It is a self limiting disease and rarely apparent before the age of two years. It occurs in children and predominantly in boys. It is characterized by clinical bilateral swelling of cheeks due to bony enlargement of jaws that give the patient a typical 'cherubic' look. Regression occurs during puberty when the disease stabilizes after the growth period leaving some facial deformity and malocclusion. Cherubism may occur in solitary cases or in many members of the family, often in multiple generations. Radiographically, lesion appears as bilateral multilocular radiolucent areas. Since it was first described by Jones in 1933, many cases have been documented. Here a case of 8 years old cherubic child, with his clinical appearance as well as radiological evaluation and discussion about clinical outcome are presented. The patient was diagnosed but not treated.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

Non-familial cherubism: A case report with its surgical management.

Project description:Cherubism is an autosomal-dominant inherited syndrome; it starts in early childhood and involutes by puberty. It is characterized by excessive bone degradation of the jaws and development of fibrous tissue masses. Non-familial cherubism is a rare entity, which needs to be documented. This paper describes the findings of non-familial cherubism. An 11-year-old male patient reported with bilateral swellings of the jaws and unerupted teeth. Extensive gingival overgrowth, cherubic facial appearance, multilocular osteolytic lesions in radiographs and family history lead to the diagnosis of non-familial cherubism. Treatment included full mouth excision of the gingival tissue by gingivectomy with both manual instrumentation and electrosurgery. Patient is being monitored and recalled for frequent follow-ups. Dental practitioners need to be alert with patients presenting with gingival overgrowth.

A novel mutation in the SH3BP2 gene causes cherubism: case report.

Project description:BackgroundCherubism is a rare hereditary multi-cystic disease of the jaws, characterized by its typical appearance in early childhood, and stabilization and remission after puberty. It is genetically transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion and the gene coding for SH3-binding protein 2 (SH3BP2) may be involved.Case presentationWe investigated a family consisting of 21 members with 3 female affected individuals with cherubism from Northern China. Of these 21 family members, 17 were recruited for the genetic analysis. We conducted the direct sequence analysis of the SH3BP2 gene among these 17 family members. A disease-causing mutation was identified in exon 9 of the gene. It was an A1517G base change, which leads to a D419G amino acid substitution.ConclusionTo our knowledge, the A1517G mutation has not been reported previously in cherubism. This finding is novel.

Cherubism misdiagnosed as giant cell tumor: a case report and review of literature.

Project description:Cherubism is characterized by progressive, painless, bilateral enlargement of the mandible and/or maxilla resulting from the replacement of bone with multilocular cysts composed of fibrotic stromal cells and osteoclast-like cells. Here we report one Chinese cherubism case that has been misdiagnosed for more than forty years. The patient displayed no typical clinical or radiographical signs of cherubism due to multi-surgical treatments. Her histopathologic examination revealed the proliferating fibrous connective tissue with few multinucleated giant cells. The family history suggested us to perform sequence analysis of the SH3BP2 gene, a candidate marker for cherubism, in the family, and it was found that both the proband and the son had a missense mutation in SH3BP2 in exon 9 (p. Arg415Gln). Here we emphasize the importance of gene testing in the diagnosis of suspected cherubism, especially for those cases with non-typical clinical, radiographic and histological presentations.

Cherubism combined with epilepsy, mental retardation and gingival fibromatosis (Ramon syndrome): a case report.

Project description:Cherubism is an inherited, autosomal dominant disorder that characteristically affects the jaws of children. The disease typically manifest as a bilateral swelling with associated submandibular lymph node enlargements and usually regresses as age advances. The disease is microscopically indistinguishable from other giant cell lesions and is essentially a clinical diagnosis. The association of cherubism with gingival fibromatosis, epilepsy, mental retardation, stunted growth, and hypertrichosis is referred as Ramon syndrome. We report a case of Ramon syndrome in an 8 year old girl.

Apocrine Hidrocystoma: A Rare Case Report.

Project description:Hidrocystoma is a cystic tumor originating from a dilated sweat gland. The tumor is typically small and located predominantly on the face, particularly in the eyelid margins. They are two classical types of hidrocystomas i.e., Apocrine and Eccrine. Apocrine hidrocystomas are cystic lesions that arise from the apocrine secretory coil and Eccrine hidrocystomas represent retention cysts of the eccrine duct. Multiple apocrine hidrocystomas confined to the eyelids have been recognized as a feature of a new variant of ectodermal dysplasia. Here we present a rare case of Apocrine hidrocystoma of supraorbital area for which excisional biopsy of the lesion was performed. Histopathological evaluation proved the lesion was a unilocular cyst lined by a double-layered epithelium of the apocrine type. The purpose of this paper is to report the unique occurrence of a Supra orbital apocrine hidrocystoma which was clinically as a sebaceous cyst and to discuss its differential diagnosis with other more common supraorbital and face lesions.

Clitoral Choristoma: A Rare Case Report.

Project description:Clitoral hypertrophy is usually seen as a congenital malformation, specifically during the stages of hormonal expressions in the disorders of sexual development. Acquired clitoral hypertrophy is a relatively rare condition. Clitoris can be the site of neoplastic lesions. Clitoral choristoma has not been reported so far in the literature.
